Uli, I am still using 1.6 becuase when I last checked, the Collabnet distribution of the Windows executables had not been updated to 1.7 The lack of %20 in the messages could reflect the fact that I had to copy the messages into the email - they were in a dialog box, and as a text email, I could not paste the image. I'm not on my own machine at present - when I am, I'll try to make the move again, possibly manually putting the %20 in there. I suppose if I can't get the relocate to work, I could dump the repository and reload it into the new one. Thanks, I'll let you know how I get on. David

Anyhow, this is a second change which is independent of the movement of the repository. In general, you can move a working copy around as you like. > When I try to do the switch from within TSVN: > > Command: Switch C:\Open\kwc54dw\Dev\AHEAProps to > file:///C:/Open/kwc54dw/DW/AHEAProps Repository, Revision HEAD > Error: 'file:///C:/DW/AHEAProps%20Repository' > Error: is not the same repository as > Error: 'file:///C:/Open/kwc54dw/DW/AHEAProps%20Repository' > Finished!: > > If I try to use the Relocate command from TSVN, I get this message: > > "If seems you are trying to relocate your working copy to a different path > inside the same repository. > From: file:///C:/DW/AHEAProps Repository > To: file:///C:/open/kwc54dw/DW/AHEAProps Repository > > A relocate is only needed if the path to a repository has changed. > ... Improper use of relocate will corrupt your working copy!" You shouldn't need any switch operation. In general, the URL of a working copy consists of two parts, one is the location of the repository, the other is the location inside the repository. If you move the repository, you only need to change the former, which is achieved using "svn switch --relocate" or since SVN 1.7 with "svn relocate". In other words, your first switch operation should not be necessary since you are not changing the path inside the repository. However, the second relocate operation is necessary and I'm surprised it didn't work. What strikes me there is that the space in the repository path was not escaped using "%20" as it was in the switch operation. This could be a bug in TSVN even. You could try to create a new repository, check out a working copy and then move that repository, avoiding paths with spaces on the way. If that changes anything, you probably have discovered a bug. If you can relocate your working copy using the commandline SVN client, then you would also have shown that the bug is probably in TSVN. BTW: It would be interesting to know if you are using 1.6 or the just-released 1.7, because a few things concerning the handling of working copies changed in that release. Also, if you are using 1.6 and considering upgrading, I would wait for 1.7.1 which is supposed to fix a few upgrade bugs. Good luck!
